How to get scuff sheets to stick
« on: April 11, 2012, 04:48:45 PM »

I always have real issues getting scuff sheets to stick, what do you do to get them to adhere properly? What I do know is sand it gently, and then clean it with white wine vinegar, but it just doesn't stick. It's really annoying, anyone got any advice?

True but ether leave it to dry then apply or leave to dry and give a light sand before applying.

Anyway, mose scuff sheets don't leave a sticky residue. So no need to rub down with vinegar

No worries mate :)

Good for getting air bubbles out with as well! When I take my scuff sheets off I always heat them up a bit as well

Top Tip: I couldn't get the edges of a scuff sheet with fibreglass edging (Kookaburra Armourtec) to stick down fully, the bat has largish edges which contributed to this. Used a very small amount of Pritt glue spread along each edge - sorted.
